Welcome to The Language House

We offer English courses in Geneva and around the world for everyone - senior managers, journalists, students and apprentices. English is our cup of tea. It’s our speciality and we’re here to help you.

General English is the best choice if you are a beginner or low-level English speaker, you don’t want to do an exam, or if you only have a short period to study.

Many students start with a General English course to improve their language skills before starting an examination course. General English courses usually start either each Monday or on a set date each month. Programs are flexible and can last from two weeks to nine months.

On your first day at school you will be tested. You will then be placed in a class of students with a similar level. Students are tested regularly and as your English improves you can move up to the next level.

General English classes concentrate on communicative English; speaking and listening, as well as reading and writing. The objective is to give you the confidence and skills to communicate in a wide variety of situations. Full-time classes range from 20 to 30 hours per week. The number of students per class is usually between 10 and 15. Several of our school have courses with a maximum of 6 or 8 students. We also have General English courses are for older students 25+ and 30+.
